Instantly the greatest thing ever made, fucking incredible. Love to get dance sequences, love to see a quick, brutal shootout at the start of a film. Also, militarized corporate mobsters?
Also, this woman playing tennis makes me think of Pro Golfer Reiko, which I'll get to watching some time. What a carefree girl, though, I love her. Too bad she's apparently going to get Robocopped.
There's an oiled up psychic beefcake, which I heavily appreciate. Frankly, I think the original Robocop should have had an oiled up psychic beefcake. Every movie should have a beefcake esper! The Cartel also brings out a deathray bazooka.
Nothing revolutionary, just some good old-fashioned fun. Watch this so you can see violent V-cinema tokusatsu bullshit. Explosions, psychic blasts, lasers. For some reason, they give her a motorcycle at the end, even though there was multiple chances to show her riding a motorcycle before the end which would have been sick. Oh, well. It wouldn't be V-cinema if they didn't leave something on the table.
That poor man gets the shit kicked out of him all movie long, holy shit.
The eventual beefcake esper kill was phenomenal.
"Eliminate what is inappropriate for this town! This is the policy of the Cartel, you see."

Robocop but make it tokusatsu. If you wanted your cyborg battle cop movie to feature more rock quarries and guns with names like Neutron Magnum this is for you. What, that's not enough? Well good thing they didn't neglect including a psychokinetic bodybuilder boss for good measure. Don't worry, he meditates in a technological power pyramid as you should expect. The funniest thing is the group of kids who inexplicably play war in an abandoned factory. The movie doesn't skimp on gunfire or bloodshed: lots of dead bodies and head shots. This is everything it pretty much promises to be. It's not stellar, but it is a success.
Lady Terminator has such a cult status, but this gets my money any day. I'll die on that hill. And when I say die, I mean being sliced to death by Lady Battle Cop's laser cutting earring.
Oh and in a just world, there's a fanfiction linking this to Challengers.

What if RoboCop was a female tennis player and fought a muscular psychic dude

Armed with cybernetics, era-appropriate shoulderpads, and a heart set on revenge and/or tennis, Lady Battle Cop follows Robocop’s footsteps through the dark misty cyberpunk streets of a crime ridden city, only this time our battle ready cyborg must face a bodybuilder boasting unbelievable psychokinetic powers and the corrupt police force who use him. Trade in Paul Verhoeven’s acidic satire and Basil Poledouris’s orchestra for Japanese C-grade shlock and an eclectic score and you should have a winner. There’s just a few things in Lady Battle Cop’s way. For taking place in a future hellscape version of Tokyo, it looks pretty mundane and, perhaps most egregiously, we never get to know the woman who traded her white dress for a suit of silver aside from her lust for vengeance due to a lot of time wasted on a not-lady not-battle normal cop trying to solve mysteries we already know the answers to. Conversely, the film jolts electricity every time the titular gunslinger shows up on screen to kick ass and, truth be told, her armor is sick as hell. The film is unintentionally funny throughout, but it’s corny fun that plays by its own rules.
